Dear Dirty Dozen Team Member,
Can you believe we welcomed September this week?
Summer has departed and Autumn is here bringing with it a fresh breeze. Time to sort out some sunshine and diving to look forward to!
United Rocks🛬
The DDE Team are not the only ones celebrating travel this month. Remember we told you that United was waving their flight change fees when you book in August?
Well, they have announced this week that this perk will be ongoing forever on all standard Economy and Premium tickets for travel within the U.S. and making same-day standby free for everyone.
International change fee waivers will be valid until the end of the year.
Don’t be like Aron, the messiest donkey on board, shotgun YOU don’t share a cabin with him!
Checklist Resources📃
In light of us focusing on moving forward, we want to draw your attention back to one of the coolest resources you will find on the internet that we and some of our DDE team spent quite some time creating for you.
Initially, we set out to answer the burning question on every divers lip: I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO PACK. HELP!
Even the mere mention of dive trip logistics, packing, and getting to the other side of the world can make even the most organized explorer sweat. We’ve devised a protocol to get you into the water and up from your dives stress-free!
But we quickly got carried away and included a bulletproof checklist in co-operation with Richard Lundgren, Jill Heinerth, and Adam Hanlon.

DDE ❤️Recreational Divers
I know we bang on about tech divers, like, all the time but did you know we love recreational divers too?
To celebrate recreational divers as you know we put together a trip with the machine that is James Bond, ahem, I mean Andy Torbet (James’ doppelganger in the upcoming 007 film).
Of course, that is not his only claim to radness! BBC Earth and History Channel host, explorer extraordinaire, all-round dive junkie, Andy Torbet is a machine...
And as its September and we miss the sunshine already (it’s grey and raining here) we are giving away 60 heavenly days of no fees when you book onto this trip because we are feeling nice like that for the last few remaining spots.
This risk-free booking means that your first payment date is 60 days after you book.
Nice right?

One Strange Rock "Alien" now on Disney+
"To find out, we can't just look into space. We also need to look down here." Watch The Dirty Dozen explore untold secrets of Truk Lagoon in "Alien" on National Geographic's One Strange Rock, now also on Disney+ and United In-Flight Entertainment!
Episode Producer Chris Baron, National Geographic said of his experience:
“We recently worked with The Dirty Dozen Expeditions on a landmark new series for National Geographic Channel. The filming required two divers to penetrate various wrecks in Truk Lagoon, Aron was one of our on camera divers. The filming process can be challenging and myself and the crew were amazed at how easily Aron dealt with everything. Having such a highly experienced and talented diver on the team made our lives significantly easier. He quickly understood what we were trying to achieve and helped us get the shots we needed, which is such an incredible asset to have on these tricky dive shoots. This intuition was also very useful in all aspects of our shoot (topside and underwater) and would definitely recommend him as a location fixer or contributor.
He was also simply just a great guy to have on our crew, which is one of the most important things in my opinion and adds huge value to the whole experience. “
That wraps it up for this week. We hope you had a great week planning your upcoming adventures, and don’t forget if you feel lonely, we are here to chat Dirty.
Love,
Aron Arngrímsson and the DDE Team
